Stay Out Tonight

I continued to fall for what I thought was days, but only turned out to be four minutes and thirty-seven seconds time. In these sorts of moments it is hard to tell what happens and doesn't happen and when any of it ever occurred is nearly unfathomable. I'm washed away by your persistence to give away the last dance. Perhaps it was foolish of me to become so attached. Starting with you was the most incredible series of letdowns I had ever known. Seven years later and I still paint you vividly anytime my eyes flicker, though many come afterward.
